Long before p. NJ, the hour set for tho
Anti Poverty meeting last night, crowds had
gathered along both sides Of the Academy OF
Music. At . o'clock the mass OF people was so
thick that pedestrians found 1t difficult to push
through. and the police were unable to keep
passageway open. Scattered along between
Third and Fourth avenues were more than
thirty men selling reserved seats and seats In
the boxes. In their hands they held green
backs and tickets. and they pursued all who
passed with the cry:
Get your reserved seats now, quarter
apiece. No one can get in yet without re-
serven seats. Boxes fifty cents. These are
regular prices; no reduction"
Their tactics wero those OF the professional
spectators, and as the crowds came up In
response to their invitations and purchased
tickets 1t reminded one strongly OF tho
crush on one OF PATHS farewell nights.
Nearly all those who got into tho
Academy paid for the privilege. and
every box was filed to its utmost capa-
city. A number Of men with the blue Anti
Poverty badges. stood at the entrances and
closely scrutnized every ticket. All who an.
piled for admission FREQ before O'Clock were
turned away. The crowd on the street did not
seem to be at all diminished after every seat In
the Academy had been filed. The ticket SELL
ers had to stop their sales because the tickets
were gone. Women by the score stood ready
to buy them, but were turned away.
The 'clamor OF those who could not get In
was so great that 1t was finally determined to
hold an overflow meeting, and q messenger
was sent scurrying around to the proprietor of
nilsson Hall. It was filed in few moments,
